Politically most Americans are disgraced at the job ALL of Washington is doing

This includes Democrats, Republicans and Obama, while everyone wants to talk bad about Obama's approval rating and latest poll numbers they are being purposely blind to the approval ratings and poll numbers of both the Democrats and Republicans in Congress, that can't be blamed on Obama. Here we are again facing another shutdown, they're all a POS if you ask me, this is the worst Congress ever.

On spending, Congress can't agree on easy stuff - Yahoo! News

This sort of crisis management has cost Congress credibility in the eyes of the electorate, with about eight in 10 Americans disapproving of the institution's performance after this summer's debt crisis. A major credit agency downgraded the nation's ratings as a result, unnerving the world's financial markets.

The current standoff raises a question: If lawmakers can't even agree to help victims of natural disasters, how are they going to strike a deal to cut $1.5 trillion in spending this fall in the white-hot climate of presidential and congressional politics?

I agree, a credit downgrade and sagging opinion polls hasn't stopped these dumbasses from doing the same thing yet the American people with all of our polls haven't done anything about it, when they bicker we suffer, regardless of who is pointing the finger at who. Both are responsible.

You have one side thats lazy and very weak in their approach to helping the people and the other side has made it clear that their goal is to unseat the president by any means necessary with their actions.

It's not about laziness.

Two apparently diametrically opposed POVs are having trouble finding a compromise they can both live with.

But they're not playing to either base because honestly speaking I don't think they give a shat spending and budgeting, neither party ever has and never will, polls show what most Americans want to happen but both sides are intent on not giving a shat about it. The likley result is that voters are going to flip flop once again from one party to the next, the Germans here follow what goes on in America and think we are stupid voters for putting out future and fate in the hands of two parties.
